I help individuals and organizations understand decentralization, AI, and web3







Stage 3 has officially begun. Stage 2 allocations were disappointing for many people, myself included, but I've also seen users who are happy with what they received. All of my apps are still running just as they were before. Who else is going to keep touching @grass in Stage 3 besides me? @grassfdn @GigaBuds_

Similar to $GRASS? Actually there was confirmation that the $USDC rewards are in addition to the usual $HONEY from @Hivemapper . You see the dynamic that @aseidman created? Hivemapper is the token layer. Up top. @TryBeeMaps is in the utility layer. Right below it. HONEY needs more community members to build on the utility layer or it dies. Its like hivemapper drew a map. Be like @TryBeeMaps and use the data. Charge people money. They pay you in fiat. Track it. Buy the token. Distribute it to the network contributors. We need builders to drive demand for the token. That is not Hivemapper's responsibility. Just like it's not Nova's responsibility to build on top of the @helium iot network. That's our responsibility. The other reality is that Bee Maps and Grass only exist because of us. Those businesses need a community. The community needs the token economy to grow. That is TIPIN 101. The only reason we're here is the token. And not simply because we want to earn money. We want to earn money in a sovereign manner. We own the token economy. We don't own $USDC, @circle does. The corporate advisors are pressuring web3 founders to move away from the token upon some milestone being reached. (My opinion) @grass says they reached (sufficient?) profitability or whatever so move away from the token. Go be a real business. Ariel is experimenting with $USDC rewards. Why? I'm guessing it's compliance related in both cases. Who is going to drive demand for the token? Not @Hivemapper Not @grass and in the case of $HNT, not @helium until they let @helium_mobile go... Thanks for your time. Is any of that wrong @DePINConnection ?









TGIF @dePioneerCats grab some kibble. We're getting into it. We had a truly Stellar week around the spaceship. They don't call it a Ship for nothing you know! Ship is all that cats on @solana do! Here are some hot topics that came up around the milk bowl... (we're not tall enough to have a water cooler!) @Trilobit7478 is chasing @DcentralizedRob because he took the yarn ball. Wait. Wrong notes... The Audit! That is the topic! It's been two years cats. The DPL-302 protocol must be audited. We have plans! How do we open up and let you all build with us??? In the coming weeks the cats will be looking to talk to a few humans that want a shot at this task. It's big. The link to our protocol is in the comments. It's pretty long, NGL. Some words exceed two syllables. Here are the basics as we were told we can mention and some areas to focus. We want the best audit. A bigly audit. • NFT → token conversion • Reminting flows • Treasury controls • Staking calculations • Admin permissions • Upgrade authority • PDA validation (not those PDAs 💋) And, of course, any sneaky edge cases that could knock the protocol off the scratching post. Leave no corner unexplored human! So drop your favorite auditor in the comments. You provide the audit, we'll provide the space suit to get you to the Ship 👇 Meow!










DePIN isn't just about connecting devices. It's about enabling them to cooperate. Imagine drones, sensors, and other autonomous machines discovering each other, exchanging data, and paying for services automatically. That's the model Neuron is building on @hedera 🧵


im long solana:Grass7B4RdKfBCjTKgSqnXkqjwiGvQyFbuSCUJr3XXjs due to terrible comms, most people have no idea that it is one of the highest revenue generating projects we have in crypto ($50m run rate as of q4'25, expected closer to 100m+ now) it's a real business with real customers (frontier models + mag 7) offering a valuable service that has practically infinite demand. Their edge being they can provide consented, auditable and cleanly sourced data at scale. very hard to have both. on the token: there is no equity. None. The revenue entity is owned by an ownerless foundation, so value can't get trapped in some VC's cap table. Value can only accrue to the token. generally think there is an education issue on grass due to the poor comms and once you piece everything together you are left with arguably the most successful crypto x ai project. Their token holder call is coming up on july 7th. I expect a lot more attention to the project once people realize how fast it is growing

Grass - anyone with a good take, please help the purpose of DePIN tokens is to allow shared ownership of the network by those who help build it. The last round of airdrops was in USDC and Grass have indicated this will persist As far as I can see, the $GRASS token was simply a way to bootstrap the initial nodes/device apps to get the network up and running. Now they have sufficient revenue and network size for most things, it no longer serves a purpose. While the presentation they did states that there is no equity, and all revenue/IP is held with the Grass Foundation - this DOESN'T mean the token. Right now, they don't execute any real buybacks with revenue, it doesn't work for governance, its not gas (despite their docs saying it would serve these purposes 2 years ago and still says this). It's just a staking token to earn more Grass. Whilst this is ongoing, the revenue is largely spent on Wynd labs who use it for salaries/hiring and physical infrastructure build out. What stops Grass (foundation) from legally changing how revenue is managed? Remember, the token is not equity, we have no rights. They can change their minds 'ah token didn't work sorry bros' and move on. This is the worst case scenario thinking, but the team have continued to manage their token holders (and NFT holders) poorly, so it seems the probability of kicking the can down the road for years whilst earning handsome salaries, or simply pivoting to a non token model, is high.
